Colts announce roster Moves

Indianapolis - The Indianapolis Colts have announced their official roster moves.

Highlights include both quarterbacks Quinn Gray and Jared Lorenzen being cut. This means that the team is only keeping two QBs on their roster - Peyton Manning and Jim Sorgi.

Two starters have also been moved to the injured list, Tyjuan Hagler (LB) and Ryan Lilja (OG), meaning they are unable to play for the first six weeks of the season.

Courtney Roby (WR), star from North Central and IU, has been kept on the roster.

The Colts play their first game of the regular season next Sunday, September 7th, against the Bears. Kickoff is at 8:15 pm and the game can be seen on WTHR, Channel 13. Below is a complete list of the roster moves.

Brannon Condren getting cut is the biggest surprise to me. The Colt's carried him on the 53 man the entire season last year, essentially giving him a pro "red-shirt" season. And almost all the practice reports had him performing very well. He got beat out by rookie UDFA, Jamie Silva out of Boston College. Jordan Senn, UDFA out of Portland State making the roster knocked me for a loop as well.
Five tight Ends and six wideouts seems an awfull lot in two positions, but Roy Hall, Gijon Robinson and Courtenay Roby will see lots of special teams action.

The Biggest Suprise for me was Jeff Charleston. He was a solid player for the Colts very good against the RUN.

You should capitalize RUN more. Look jonathan I respect your opinion and all but we will get runned on more than we get passed on this year. Charleston will probably be on the practice squad anyhow where he would be on any other team.

Re: Colts announce roster Moves

Found some stuff on stampede blue.

Told you! Just because the 53 man roster is "set" for Saturday, August 30th doesn't mean it is set for Kickoff Weekend. The Colts claimed waived DT Daniel Muir from Green Bay. Muir is 6'2, 296 pounds, and is known as an interior pass rusher. Muir is in his second season, drafted by the Packers out of Kent State. Interestingly, Colin "not the dumb actor" Ferrell is also a DT out of Kent State. Ferrell was waived by the Colts yesterday despite a solid preseason. Both Ferrell and Muir fit the mold of the under tackle in the Tampa 2 defense Tony Dungy employs. Prior to Muir's signing, second year player Ed Johnson was the only legit underover tackle on the roster.
Signing Muir likely means that Indy will not sign the recently waived Montae Reagor or Larry Tripplett. No word yet on who was cut to make room for Muir.

Its odd that we don't have an interest in Tripplet or Reagor. I kind of understand Reagor if he is still screwed up from the accident but tripplet was a guy who cashed out right?
